Gypsy Rose is only 1lb higher than when scoring over the C&D a year ago but hasn't shown much subsequently. The veteran Bricks And Porter hasn't won for three years but is reasonably consistent and reverts to this trip for the first time in a while. Jacks Law is still a maiden after 19 starts but has dropped to a very lowly mark and is not without a chance while another maiden, Rosa Dieci, ran her best race for some time at Gowran and would be a threat if repeating. Follyfoot has been racing over further without any real sign that the shorter trip will suit while Quarton's only success came over hurdles and he's yet to reach the frame in 11 starts on the Flat. Another veteran campaigner, THE LAST STAND, had been running poorly over timber during the winter but reverted to the level with a decent run at Cork followed by an even better effort behind East Of Tara at Gowran. He's not as good as he was but has won off higher marks in the past and can gain the ninth victory of a long career.
